    then ordered rear tyre for the gpz and it got deliverd to essex instead of bristol about a month later tyre arived in bristol tyre was fitted on bike and puncture on same tyre
    then mot time gpz failed on warped rear brake drum so drum has to be skimmed so back wheel off again and suspension bush wornso needs replaceing so went to sally on thusday and ignition coil packed up on way home

    it makes for a more interesting ride when you have to keep stopping to pick up parts that have fallen off ;D

    well so far sues bike still running ok
    my gpz is still sat outside with just one wheel dropped the rear wheel off to have the drum skimmed this morning and picking it up tomorrow
    old bloke who runs the place has done lots of kawasaki drums in the past and confirmed what mot tester told me its a manufactureing defect and will only cost £38 to fix which i think is a good price
    ignition coil replaced from my gpz parts collection exhaust coming off tomorrow to change rear suspention bush as cant get one of the bolts out with exhaust in place badly designed after market exhaust
    so as the bike is being striped down this much going to give it a much needed clean up

    I prefer to see it as every ride is an adventure into the unknown.... ;D
